The Devine Thief

Pearly white glance in your eyes brings me back to the quiet ocean days

Silhouette, smoothed out by the grasping flow

Red cushions so soft like a fresh summer breeze 

Guide me to places where time stops 
admiring the golden pool of light

Peace, in reach, only a touch away, fading as you withdraw

Fascinating 

As if 

Love, a complication too much
Love, a temptation, ruinous as it is constructive 
Love, a revelation, lying at the root of your perception 

Wondrous yet so addictive 

Just like all is,
stolen by the divine thief

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
